I am not sure exactly how they have Entropia Pocket App setup but its very concerning that people would use emulators.
Its a huge security risk depending on its layout.
For someone to guess your password would be almost impossble...
BUT it would be extremely easy to get it with a keylogger by hacking your PC, and if that is done then there right around the corner of taking control of the emulated Entropia Pocket App and pulling a code off it so in the end what is the point of the app?
And if your cell phone is on your wifi connection then with enough time while there pulling a password for EU off computer then they might could find a work around to pulling it off your phone as well so again whats the point?
Again not sure how the app is setup so it might be damn near impossible to pull off the app on cell phone, but it would be extremely easy to get it off computer with emulator. Unless the person has took the time to secure there PC on a more advanced scale then just standard software's and a few tweaks
I dont see how anyone could hack a Gold Card and Card Reader as there stand alone. So in any case this setup is the most secure of all the options atm. Why fk that up?
Exactly my thoughts...
I'm a programmer/networker myself, and I could hack someone if I wanted to with this new setup.
This is for me the main reason that I refuse to use this app at all costs.
I will never move away from the gold card reader as long as the option exists. If at some point in time, they delete the card readers, I don't think I'll keep my money in this game.
I know plenty of companies who are all going to a token system now, banks also work with such card readers since a few years back. Why? Because it's the safest way there is at this moment.
Why move away from a good system to an easy to hack system?
PS: Kull, not only people with an emulator have the risk of keyloggers. What makes you think that a keylogger can't be made for a phone? It's just an operating system like a pc has. Everything behind it works the same way. Similar ascii codes for characters, same bits get sent through. So even if you would put your cellphone "offline", and work without internet, it's still possible to get hacked. A keylogger on phone and either send the password as soon as the phone makes contact with internet or even bluetooth.
Trust me, it's just as easy to hack a mobile phone as it is to hack a pc. Both are 2 dumb devices. They can't do anything themselves, they just do what a programmer told them to do. And that means that programmers of the operating system made it possible to capture actions. Any program can capture these.
The bad is always 1 step ahead of the good.
Anyway, I'm waiting for the gold card to come back, because if they make us have to swap, I think they'll be in big troubles if community would come together to take actions against security issues.
I won't swap.
I laughed at their fix of "contacting support to delete gold card".
Hah...
Oh, your brakes & airbag in the car don't work correctly? No worries, we will just take them away for you and the problem is fixed. Cause something that's not in there, can not work incorrectly, right?
